With the head so close to Theo's hand, he decided to not move abruptly. His gaze went on the knight who was smiling for the first time.
The mantis was inches away from the wyvern, and their eyes were latched on each other.
Suddenly, it moved its foreleg slowly toward the wyvern's face.
SCREEE
A sound of metal scraping at a hard surface resounded everywhere. The wyvern's pupils focused further and then went back to normal. It let out a light air from its nose, making a steamy, somewhat hot air come out.
'Are you crazy?' Theo thought through his mental bond, the mantis just scraped it's foeleg at a wyvern's skin.
Theo covered his face and looked at the front again only to see that the big wyvern had moved back again.
He took a sigh of relief. Seeing such a creature was one thing, but to be this close to it and feel nothing but helpless was another thing.
